John Richard Henderson filed a a class action lawsuit, individually and on behalf of similarly situated individuals, June 20 in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas against Woodgrain Millwork Inc., doing business as Woodgrain Distribution alleging the millwork manufacturer violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
